a higher price for their
future cooperation.
Syria, still listed by the
State Department as a spon-
sor of terrorism, is anxious
to use the hiatus as an op-
portunity to renegotiate the
terms of its relationship
with Washington, par-
ticularly after the tough talk
over Syria from Mr. Clinton
during the presidential
campaign.
President Assad holds the
trump card and his canny
game plan is to demonstrate
Syria's power over its
neighbors and its potential
both to hinder and facilitate
the peace process.

The Palestinians also have
much to gain. They are avid-
ly exploiting the threat of a
burgeoning, uncompromis-
ing Hamas in their bid to
convince Washington not
only to resume its stalled
dialogue with the Palestine
Liberation Organization,
but to strengthen the na-
tionalist cause by leaning on
Israel to allow the PLO a
seat at the negotiating table.
Most of all, however, while
the Palestinians are seeking
a redefinition of their rela-
tionship with Washington
they are also seeking a com-
prehensive revision of the

ground-rules of their talk;4
with Israel.
Given their lack of
bargaining power, they felt
compelled to accept Mr.
Baker's all-or-nothing offer
for a return to the old Camp,
David formula, which
stipulated a five-year period
of autonomy, with negotia-
tions over the final status of
the territories starting in
the third year and con-
cluding at the end of the
autonomy period.
The Palestinians, now po-
litically resuscitated as their
backing of Iraq during the
Persian Gulf War fades from
memory, feel strong enough
to demand that the Madrid
guidelines be set aside and.
that new terms of reference
permit them to skip the
preliminary autonomy
phase and engage immedi-
ately in negotiations on .a
final territorial agreement.
Warren Christopher. will4
get the Arab and Israeli
delegates back to the negoti-
ating table if only because
they have no option, but he
will have to tread nimbly.
He cannot hope to satisfy all
of the parties all of the time,
but he must retain their con-
fidence in his stewardship FA
the peace talks are to have
any chance of success. ❑

Senator Pat Leahy
Arrives In Israel

Jerusalem (JTA) — When
U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, a
Vt., arrived on a visit here
this week, Israeli officials
feared he would warn the
government it could not ex-
pect to continue receiving $3
billion in U.S. assistance
each year.
Mr. Leahy, who chairs the
powerful Senate Appropria-
tions subcommittee on for-
eign operations, has made
statements in the past about
how he wants to reform
America's nearly $15 billion
foreign aid program.
And with the new Ameri-
can president promising to
focus "like a laser beam" on
domestic priorities, Israeli
officials apparently expected
the worst.
But as it turned out, the
U.S. lawmaker did not
broach the delicate subject of
cutting U.S. aid to Israel
during his talks here with
Prime Minister Yitzhak
Rabin and Finance Minister
Avraham Shohat.
Instead, he focused on

•

other issues, such as Israel's .4
absorption of new immi-
grants and its use of U.S. I
aid.
Mr. Leahy expressed ad-
miration for Israel's achiev-
ements in absorbing Jewish
immigrants from all over the
world. The senator said he
could not envision a similar
process taking place in the
United States.
A clearly relieved Mr.
Shohat came out of his
meeting with Leahy saying
that Israel had in the. Ver-
mont Democrat "a great
friend in the Senate."

At $3 billion a year, Israel
is America's largest reci-
pient of aid. Israel receives
$1.8 billion a year in "4
military grants, most of
which goes toward pur-
chases of U.S. equipment,
and $1.2 billion of economic
aid, much of which is used to
pay back old debts.
Mr. Shohat said he totally
opposed ideas raised by some
Israeli politicians.
